20.01.2022 We had made plans to climb the 250 meter tall Sigiriya Rock (or Lion Rock, as it's also known) today. Like World's End a week before, the conventional wisdom says get there early to avoid both the crowds and the heat/humidity. We were inside the park just after the gates opened at 6:30, and had agreed that we would not push too hard. [ 410 more words ] https://brucewilliamsphotography.com/20//sri-lanka-day-13/
19.01.2022 We had our breakfast in the rooftop restaurant at our hotel. It was from here that I shot a picture of another Buddha statue; this one across town, on a hillside and illuminated in the morning sun, with dark clouds way off in the background. Once we'd checked out, we were on the road north to a place called Nilaveli. Dinesh, again with the good oil on where to go and what to see, had promised us it would be worth the trip.

07.01.2022 Monday 12th August We were all up early and on the road by 5:30. Everything we had read about the walk to World's End said "Be there EARLY". World's End is a lookout on the edge of an 800 metre precipice. And apparently, it has a habit of only clearing briefly in the morning, before clouding over again. We were the first car at the gate at 5:55. [ 671 more words ] https://brucewilliamsphotography.com/20//sri-lanka-day-09/
06.01.2022 Our second day in the Sigiriya area. I had planned on climbing nearby Pidurangala, another monolith. But it turned out to be a day of more rain. Having done Sigiriya Rock yesterday, and knowing how many of the steps were metal, I figured climbing in the wet was probably not the best idea. So we decided that we'd drive half an hour south to check out the Royal Cave Temple at Dambulla. [ 33 more words ] http://brucewilliamsphotography.com/2019//sri-lanka-day-14/
06.01.2022 Having checked the Photographer's Ephemeris for a decent spot to set up for some sunrise magic, I got up early and headed out. Sadly, distant cloud sitting right on the horizon conspired against me again. I did grab one wide angle shot of the clouds, but... meh. An hour or two later, after breakfast, we went back for another swim prior to heading south. [ 81 more words ] https://brucewilliamsphotography.com/20//sri-lanka-day-12/
03.01.2022 Today, we were sightseeing around Kandy. This included a visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, and looking for somewhere to watch the Perahera Festival parade in the evening. Locals were starting to line the streets from mid-morning, even though that meant sitting/standing for up to 10 hours in the rain, waiting for the parade to start! The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is, as the name suggests, a temple which holds the remains of one tooth of the Buddha.
